THE CHINA MAIL, MAY 6, 1941,

RAILWAYMAN FOUND 1,000 IN SNOW

(By A Special Correspondent).

A RAILMAN, trying to fight his way to, work', * during the great snowstorm which swept the North

of England, stumbled, by chance upon a thousand "lost" people trapped in a string of six. trains. buried in drifts only five miles from Newcastle-on- Tyne. Some of the passengers were trapped for thirty-six hours.

Climbing over a drift the railman discovered. he had landed on the roofs of some carriages which he presumed were empty. As he started to walk along this high level route through the snow, he was amazed to hear voices.

Then he found the buried carriages were pack- ed with hungry men, women and children who had passed the night sleeping on floors, seats and lug- gage racks. Among them were several mothers with young children.

One after another six

trains had been forced to SHARP

stop until there was a

string of about seventy- WARNING

five stranded carriages.

36 Hours In Train

A passenger and the railway- man who had found the trains set out to seek help and made their way to the next station, and hours later managed to send message to Newcastle.

a

Railway officials sought the aid of the military and in an hour and a half, the snowfall having stopped, a cavalcade of railway and army lorries

with Jaden bread, pies, sausage

rolls, cake tea and a supply of goat's milk, set out to find and feed the lost thousand.

Six men rode with each lorry to clear the snow. Every quar. ter-mile they had to stop to dig their way through tremedous drifts. When they got within half a mile of the stranded trains they left the lorries to hew the remainder of the way.

Down this snow-walled road they carried the food to the starv- ing passengers and milk for the children.

Some of the passengers were carried back on the return journey, but others had to stay on the trains until rescued by other lorries, spending in all thirty-six hours in the carriages.
